Luann de Lesseps and Michael Rapaport Talk Real Housewives of New York And So Much More On Watch What Happens Live

I don’t know if it was just my mood or what, but tonight’s episode of Watch What Happens Live was the funnest and funniest in a long time! Andy’s guests were Luann de Lesseps and Housewives Superfan Michael Rapaport (yes, that’s his official title now) and they were hilarious together. Both of them were there to have fun and not be too serious and it was a good time.

Andy starts off the night by bringing up Luann’s surprise birthday party last night – which Ramona Singer was uninvited to! Ramona took to Snapchat to vent about it and Andy played the video for her. Ramona says that Lu’s fiance called her at the last minute and “dis-invited” her because of rain and Ramona says there’s no rain in HER apartment and it’s big enough for a party.  Luann laughs at the video.

Andy asks why Ramona’s invite was taken back. Luann says it was a surprise party, so she had nothing to do with the invites. She sort of mentions the rain as a reason but then stumbles on a few explanations as Michael gives her shit for double talking and side talking her way out of it. She finally fesses up that John and Dorinda were coming and she thinks it wasn’t a good night for “that mix.”

Luann shares her friendship status with each co-star:

Sonja – everything’s good there

Jules – “Jules and I are fine.”

Carole – “We are in a much better place”

Ramona – “Ramona and I were cool until I saw the episode. She tried to keep this crazy stalker at the party and she encouraged him and that was not cool.”

Bethenny – “Bethenny and I are up and down.”

Dorinda – “Dorinda and I are great friends.”

Andy plays the clip of Bethenny being firm with Sonja at her Skinnygirl office.  He asks Luann’s opinion on the situation. “I feel like Sonja is trying to make ends meet, trying MANY things as we all know. She’s got many things going on. I totally think she should’ve spoken to Bethenny first, at least mentioned it, not just put it out there without even speaking to her.”

Michael chimes in and suggest that Sonja and Ramona need to be hooked up to some sort of brain wave analyzing machines to see what exactly goes on in their minds because they are so far out.  Michael jokes that Sonja is coming for Luann next with “Countessless pocketbooks.”

Luann tries to explain her Rey situation. She says they met in Ibiza and just had a few dates, he was never actually her “boyfriend.”

Andy wants Michael’s take on some of the RHONY situations. He pulls up Dorinda first and Michael says “first of all, I want to say that Dorinda could be interchangeable with the Jersey Housewives – any time you need to fill her in. Her hand gestures! They come from wild angles. Her angles are unpredictable, I’m going to use them!”

He then asks Michael’s thoughts on Carole and Luann deciding not to be friends, “sad, it made me sad.”  On John and Bethenny’s Skinny Cow argument, “I want to offer John a self defense class in the summer for $99.99. When he meets up with Bethenny he needs to be able to talk trash better. I think I can help him because he’s a bull in a china shop. Her footwork alone, he’s outmatched.” On Jules’ Hampton house, “I would be concerned about her Hamptons house as an investment. That place looks like a mess.” On Luann regifting Ramona’s birthday present, “For a Countess, that wasn’t very Countess-like.”  What does he think about Carole and Adam? “I think Carole and Adam are cute, but when Carole got a watermelon hand wrap and didn’t thank him. Like if he had handed me a watermelon wrap, he would’ve got lucky with me. She acted like that was a wet bag of potato chips.”

Andy remarks that Michael likes John on the show. “I think John brings an Indie straight to video gangster movie quality to the show. ” He says that John is a complete mess and he had his chance to shine tonight by asking Rey to go, but he put his hand in Ramona’s face and you can’t do that to anybody.

Luann says that Ramona encouraged Rey to stay. And it was not cool. She say John tried to get rid of him but Ramona was all “no, come talk to me.”

Luann shared that her kids like her fiance Tom. “When they see their mother happy, they’re happy. They love Tom.”

At the end of the show Bethenny Tweeted Andy and said “Hey, Andy, The Spinners called, they want their suit back.” (He was wearing an all cream ensemble – with matching tie – we’ll look for a pic)

On the After Show someone asks Luann if she thinks she’s a good influence on Sonja. She says that she absolutely is because she looks out for Sonja. Like if the “Tipsy Girl” comes out, Luann makes sure that Sonja gets home safely, etc. whereas Miss Turtle Time does her own thing at the end of the night…

A caller asks Luann and Michael what their all time favorite Housewives moment has been. For Luann it was singing with Natalie Cole. Michael chooses the brawl at the retreat between Joe Giudice and Joe Gorga. (That truly was an epic Housewives moment – especially with the spray-on hair getting everywhere!!!)

And we need to give a shoutout to Bobby G from the Bronx for being the best caller.

Poll question was ‘whose side are you on: Bethenny or Sonja’? – 54% said Bethenny.

More Farrah Abraham Sex Tape Drama: Alleged Blackmail, A Secret Tape, Paternity Scandal, And More!

Farrah Abraham is ridiculous

Farrah Abraham is ridiculous

Farrah Abraham claims she was tricked into making her sex tapeBackdoor Teen Mom, but in a recently uncovered hilarious court filing, the Teen Mom OG star is being accused by Jonathan Lee Riches of secretly filming a sex tape with him, then blackmailing him by threatening to release it! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in this insanely bizarre case, riddled with absolutely nonsensical claims against Farrah. Is this, like, karma?

It certainly appears that in the delusional category Farrah has met her match! Sit down. Take deep breaths – it’s this ridiculous. 

Jonathan Lee Riches claims that in 2012 he and Farrah had a rendezvous at, of all classy places, a Holiday Inn in Iowa. Faaaahncy. Unbeknowst to him, despite the fact that she was like on TV and stuff, Riches claims he had no idea that A) Farrah was underaged; and B) Farrah had secretly recorded their sexytimes. 

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

Fast-forward to 2016, Riches filed court documents against Farrah saying she held onto the sexy footage and was attempting to blackmail him by shopping it around to purveyors of porn. GAG GAG GAG. 

In the court documents Riches alleges, “I was actually filmed without my consent by her and now Abraham is selling this illegal tape to the Adult Entertainment Industry for millions of dollars.”

Abraham tells me I have to pay her $1,000 a month in hush hush money not to expose our past relationship or she will call the police on me and press charges,” the court documents, obtained by Radar Online, continue. 

If you think this claim is salacious, hold on – the loon is not done. 

Riches, who is even less connected to reality than Farrah, also claims he’s the true father of Sophia – not Derek Underwood – and ‘confesses’ that  he “committed pedophile acts by getting Farrah Abraham pregnant when she was a teenager.” Even more insane: He blames the entire thing on his purported “MENTOR” (his term), Josh Duggar! The what-the-f–kitude is truly astounding here! So this guy claims Josh convinced him to impregnate a teenaged Farah?!

RELATED – FARRAH & FAM VACATION IN HAWAII!

Riches is now seeking a restraining order against Farrah to forbid her from “selling, distributing or giving away this sex tape of us, total invasion of privacy.” A judge dismissed the bizzar-o claims. Thankfully. 

Farrah spoke out denying any involvement with Riches. “This makes no sense and is not true clearly,” babbled Farrah. “Everyone knows who Sophia’s dad is. No one knows who this guy is.” When FARRAH says something makes no sense, you know you’ve crossed way over the threshold of insanity! 

I actually feel sorry for Farrah that she even has to defend herself against this whack job! 

TELL US – DO BELIEVE RICHES BIZARRE CLAIMS HAVE ANY MERIT?

Luann de Lesseps’ Fiance Throws Her A Surprise Birthday Party!

Luann de Lesseps

Luann & Tom

Luann de Lesseps is crazy, happy in love after a whirlwind romance to Tom d’Agostino Jr. and the Countess is about to shed her title for a New Year’s Wedding complete with 3 dresses (and how many Bravo cameras, again?!).

Luann is over the moon about her second chance at love, and Tom seems equally smitten at his second chance with a Real Housewives Of New York star. As you know, he once had a fling with Ramona Singer, but that doesn’t seem to bother the couple. As we know, Luann always likes to best Ramona, so there she went and snagged the big diamond and the Bravo fairytale (who am I kidding – I SO cannot wait to watch this! I SO cannot wait to see Luann’s wedding fashion!).

And, last night Luann got some more excitement – a surprise birthday party! I presume it was thrown by Tom.

Luann shared photos of her top secret event and she indeed looks both shocked and delighted. Hopefully she didn’t spoil anyone’s good time with an impromptu musical number. Anyway, Happy Birthday Lu! 

Luann's Surprise Party

“Happy couple! Happy Birthday #love” [Credit]

Well, Luann‘s life may be diamonds, and love, and everything nice but RHONY is quite the opposite! On tonight’s episode, Sonja Morgan visits Bethenny Frankel to tell her about Tipsy Girl, and she is shocked by Bethenny’s scathing reaction. While Bethenny cuts Sonja out of her life, Luann moves herself into Sonja’s townhouse. Adam finally returns from Ethiopia to use Carole for a book deal to work on his vegan cookbook with Carole Radziwill, and they also foster a kitten. Can you handle the Dramzzzzzzzzzzzzz [Vicki Gunvalson falling asleep face]. 

Meanwhile, Dorinda Medley and John host a party, where Luann‘s ex causes a scene that erupts into a argument between Ramona Singer and John. Dorinda decides she’s had it with Ramona meddling in her life and throws her out after a screaming argument! Yikes. 

Reality Tea will be live-tweeting

Dance Moms Reunion Recap: Cry Me A River

dance moms group 1

dance moms group

Well played, Lifetime, well played. I’ll give the network a slow clap for sure after last night’s wrap up to the Dance Moms reunion. It had me bawling like a baby, but I appreciated that it focused on the only two redeeming qualities of the show: the girls’ genuine friendships and the amazing dancing. Plus, kudos for plugging the girls’ music videos and YouTube channels! Each of these young ladies has a bright future ahead of her, and Jai Rodriquez is yet again a breath of fresh air compared to ol’ Phil Collins.

The reunion begins with the girls joining The Boys of Temecula in a fabulous hip-hop number. After the dance, Maddie, MacKenzie, Nia, JoJo, Kalani, Kendall, and Brynn join to Jai to dish about the drama and the fun we’ve seen this season. Maddie recalls that she, her sister, and Nia were the only original ALDC team members remaining, and they have all grown up together. Jai shows a clip of the girls learning of Maddie and MacKenzie’s departure which starts the waterworks. You can tell how much these girls love each other. Don’t you remember being that age when when those kind of friendships were the only care in the world?

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!  

Maddie tells Jai that it truly hit her she was leaving after the team performed its last group routine together. After watching a clip of the Ziegler sisters final awards ceremony, MacKenzie admits she was too choked up to speak. The girls discuss how strange it will be not to have Maddie in her permanent spot at the top of the pyramid, and Jai questions who they think will be the next Maddie. Abby Lee Miller has been building up Brynn for this role, but Maddie thinks whoever joins their team should be their own person, not a replacement. Are you listening, Abby? Brynn admits that it’s hard to be the new girl, and Kendall empathizes as she was also brought onto the team through a probationary period. The girls also remind Brynn that she was given lots of solos this season, although Brynn felt pressure from Abby to beat Maddie. MacKenzie and Brynn have gotten really close, and Mac calls her a great addition to their team.

The crew briefly chats about the minis (I’m not going to lie, every time I type “minis” I think of Chick-fil-A mini biscuits and I get incredibly hungry!) with JoJo calling them a hot mess (ha!) and MacKenzie saying she related to them. We’re then treated to a video reel comprised of every single one of Abby’s mortal enemies wishing Maddie and MacKenzie well in their future endeavors. You know Abby is seething as Candy Apple Cathy calls her an old crone while praising her proteges! Interspersed with Cathy’s rambling message are clips from Jeanette and Ava, Shangelica, as well as Black Patsy and NicayaGino is present in the clip to opine about his first kiss with Maddie, and she’s blushing just as much as when it first happened. Even Vivi is able to get a word in edgewise despite her chatty mother. 

After a performance of the group number Boss Ladies, Jai gushes about Kendall’s YouTube channel. They take a volunteer from the audience to play in Kendall’s version of Double Dare. She and Jai quiz the Ziegler sisters on Dance Moms trivia, and they douse the poor fan in Hawaiian Punch, salad dressing, and shredded cheese whenever Maddie or MacKenzie gives a wrong answer. I am having flashbacks of being hazed in my middle school girls’ club (it was a horrible idea then, and it’s a horrible idea now!). JoJo then discusses her friendships with Maddie and MacKenzie before debuting her video Boomerang, which is actually pretty cute. Kendall and Jill have parts in the video, which you know made Jill’s entire year. 

The girls dish on Abby, chastising her for leaving tissue trails, borrowing things and never returning them, and using JoJo’s sweatshirt as a napkin once. Only once? Next, MacKenzie shares her latest video for her song I Gotta Dance which is accompanied by The Temecula Boys. We’re then treated to more tears as we watch footage of the girls growing up together in the ALDC studio followed by a solo from Maddie. It’s crazy to think how little they were when the show began. The girls are crying as they share favorite memories and explain how much Maddie and MacKenzie mean to them. Thanks, girls. You have a grown woman nearly sobbing into her Pinot Noir. At least I’m not alone…Jai’s right there with me! To finish off the reunion, Todrick Hall joins the girls for one last epic routine.  

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE SECOND PART OF THE REUNION? DID YOU GET TEARY AT THE GIRLS’ GOOD-BYES?

Courtney Stodden’s Mom Reacts To Pregnancy News; Courtney Fires Back

Courtney & Krista

mdex-courtney-krista

Things are clearly not better for Courtney Stodden and her estranged mom, Krista Keller. The two appeared together on The Mother/Daughter Experiment, attempting to fix their relationship, but as news of Courtney’s pregnancy broke over the weekend (exclusively by Reality Tea), it’s crystal clear that therapy didn’t help these two.

Krista reacted to the pregnancy news (which she learned via the media) with an interview. She shared, “If it wasn’t for media I would not get to know the news about my daughter’s pregnancy This will make grandchild number five. If she is happy, I am happy for her. It would be nice to experience this with her but as it still stands her and I are still not speaking. I did not even hear from her on Mother’s Day. I was blessed to be able to celebrate it with my other two girls. Courtney is still missing from our family. I pray for her everyday.”

Courtney fired back to Fox News:  “My mother continues to play her ‘victim’ games to manipulate the media and ride on the coat tails of my celebrity in a pathetic attempt to remain in the limelight. Now she’s using my pregnancy in the same manner.”

Courtney says that she was warned by her therapist to steer clear of Krista. “It deeply saddens me that I can’t share with my mother the news of my pregnancy, but our fractured relationship eclipses any hope that she’ll ever change and start being the mother I truly deserve.”

RELATED: IS COURTNEY STODDEN READY FOR BABIES WITH DOUG?

Did you watch these two on Mother/Daughter Experiment? To say their relationship is toxic is the understatement of the year – Courtney wound up in the hospital over the stress of dealing with her mom. I feel for Courtney. Being this young and pregnant and not having your mom with you for support has to be weird.

Marie Reyes Has Proof Tiffany Hendra Lied To LeeAnne Locken About Text Messages!

Marie, Tiffany, LeeAnne - RHOD textgate

Marie, Tiffany, LeeAnne - RHOD textgate

Real Housewives Of Dallas star Marie Reyes is putting Tiffany Hendra on blast. Apparently Tiffany’s “soul sister” act with LeeAnne Locken is just that – an act! After Tiffany and LeeAnne ‘twin power’ confronted Marie over negative texts she sent abut LeeAnne – complete with so-called “evidence” – Marie released her own unedited texts which shows that Tiffany was very much a part of slamming about LeeAnne’s outrageous behavior.

So, was Marie’s version of the texts shown to us by God, or is only LeeAnne who has access to GodT&T Wireless? 

“When someone brings text evidence but leaves out their part in it. But you have it all,” tweeted Marie. Already bringing evidence = reunion insanity!

While Marie may have perched on her sofa with a barbed wire fence on her head as LeeAnne was so NOT having a nervous breakdown, she’s not maintaining her composure anymore! 

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

Marie explains that after LeeAnne’s irascible behavior at her cocktail party she sent “some pretty nasty and scary texts regarding her whereabouts even suggesting she might soon be ‘dead in a ditch.'” Which is why Marie reached out to Tiffany.  

Tiffany and I were texting each other trying to figure out how to help LeeAnne! Tiffany was engaging me and texting me back and totally agreed that LeeAnne’s behavior was bizarre and how WE shouldn’t tolerate it anymore and that LeeAnne’s actions were a form of self-harm. Needless to say, during the exchange of texts around LeeAnne’s behavior at my cocktail party, both Tiffany and I agreed, the behavior was atrocious.” 

As for why Tiffany chose to share only MARIE’s share of the texts – Marie presumes it’s that Tiffany is using LeeAnne to get famous and therefore has a hidden agenda for being her BFF! 

“Because she suffers from failure to launch syndrome she has to hang onto LeeAnne for dear life, it’s her and her husband’s last hope! So, while it was quite juvenile for her to share bits and pieces of messages behind my back like a middle schooler, it doesn’t surprise me anymore because the more I’ve reconnected with Tiffany, the more I understand how shallow, transactional, and financially motivated her friendship needs are,” Marie complains in her Bravo blog. “All of Tiffany’s hopes and dreams are riding on Dallas and her friendship with LeeAnne. Who am I? Only the person standing between her and LeeAnne?”

Well, this Marie is not beating around the bush – which will probably end on Brandi’s next hat

“I might have said some things that LeeAnne may not have liked, but Tiffany tried to make a mountain out of a molehill by showing specific messages to LeeAnne,” adds Marie

Marie also explains her hat – she believed Tiffany and LeeAnne were coming over to sample her new product (of course), RAGS2Riches Skin Care Line (Marie is an aesthetician by trade, who owns SkinSpaMED in Dallas, and a former psych nurse, actually), and the fascinator tied into the packaging. It’s slightly disappointing to learn she doesn’t just casually lounge around her house with a wire hanger atop her head. 

“After being ambushed by Tiffany and LeeAnne, I felt sick to my stomach and just horrible,” sighs Marie. “It sucks to have your loyalty and integrity attacked, especially when it is done in such an underhanded and scheming fashion.”

Oh honey – you are not ready for Housewives if you get upset about a little something like loyalty and integrity being attacked!

Well, well if you were yearning for more Amber and Jim Marchese in your life, you’re in luck. They are returning to reality TV in a new show later this year. Plus, Amber is writing a book about her experiences surviving cancer and the new diet she developed.

Oh, and if you believe Jim is entitled to more money to fuel his delusions, the former Real Housewives Of New Jersey star also plans to sue Virgin America airlines for $100 million after they kicked him off a flight for allegedly grabbing Amber‘s neck.

A few months ago, in an Instagram message to her ‘fans,’ Amber revealed, “Sorry I have not been on social media in some time. I have been working on a wonderful project with Jim that I cant wait for all of you to see. It’s been tough, but the message is real. It puts the real back into reality, nothing like I have ever seen before. I am super proud of this project from production, crew, and cast. love you all and please let me know how you are doing!! #staytuned #missingyouall #love #work #family #friendship #newpath #neverstop”

Earlier this week, Jim confirmed the news on Twitter. “We are off #rhonj but have new show coming later this year. We cannot say which one yet but follow & see.” 

Hmmmm… why do I feel like they’re going to end up on Marriage Bootcamp? I mean, it would only make sense, right? Speaking of, last month Jim was arrested in L.A. when the couple was in town filming. 

Yesterday we learned no charges would be pressed against Jim following his arrest for domestic violence charges. Amber bailed Jim out of jail – spending $50,000!! (#NotWorthIt) – and insisted they were engaged in foreplay, not fighting, and were in the midst of drunken celebration coming after three weeks of shooting their new show.  

In a statement to People, Jim and Amber express their outrage over Jim being falsely accused (I’m sure it’s the fault of over-zealous haters from RHONJ, right?!), and as a result they plan to sue Virgin for $100 million. 

“It’s embarrassing and humiliating,” bemoans Amber of their experience being cuffed, interrogated, and Jim being arrested – all because of a misunderstood gesture! 

Recounting the incident, Amber insists, “Jim put his hand behind my neck and leaned me closer to him. It was hard to hear. So he pulled me closer so he could whisper to me so the other passengers couldn’t hear us.” 

Jim blames the flight attendant who was delivering Amber a glass of wine and misconstrued his touching gesture. “My understanding is that flight attendant saw my arm around the back of Amber [during the PDA], and that where the accusation came from.” 

Once off the flight, after a very rowdy removal, the couple was separated and cuffed. 

Amber claims officers tried to talk her into saying Jim “attacked her.” And choked her. Which, obviously, she refused. “[An officer] says, ‘You’re not going anywhere until you’re tell me what happened,'” claims Amber. “I’m sitting there and say, ‘Officer, nothing happened.’ He bluntly says, ‘Why don’t you tell me how your husband attacked you.'”

“I am no victim,” she declares. 

They also complain that there was no medical assistance there – which seems strange to them given that Amber was allegedly the victim of domestic violence. They say police did not question fellow passengers, to their knowledge, but they did take photos of Amber’s neck for evidence. Doing due diligence, Jim and Amber took their own photos as well. 

In more positive news – I guess – Amber plans to document her life in a new memoir, detailing an anti-cancer diet she created. She should pass that info along to Brooks Ayers … oh wait, he already found life-saving juice.

Amber Marchese Writing Book

“Ahhh…joining the #narcissist movement. Just kidding, I worked my body hard in the last year and results are showing. Spent the winter at 145 pounds at 5’6 building muscle. I safely and slowly have brought my goal weight down in 2 months to 129 pounds. I have literally but a glute that was never there naturally,” Amber shared. “I created a diet that is anti cancer, anti fat gain, anti aging. I do not eat chemicals, additives, gmos or any other crappie that this ‘food industry’ wants to kill us with (not to mention what it is doing to the environment). I feel better than ever before in my life. I am writing a book. Stay tuned. #raw #phytochemicals #nutritarian #healthy #nutrition #health #rawchef #eathalf #anitcancer #breastcancer #cancer #fuckyoucancer #cancerdoesnothaveme” [Photo Credit: Instagram]

Sometime tells me the best detox Amber could do would be cutting the Jimsanity out of her life!

Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: Model Deckhands

Danny-Zurelkat-Guest-Below-Deck-Mediterranean-001  

Last night, it was all too much for resident horn dog Danny Zurelkat, who decided to break rank and get his smooch on with a charter guest. Danny and his trusty sidekick, Bobby Giancola, also though it was a good idea to bring girls on board after their inebriated night out on the town! It’s time for this week’s installment of Below Deck Mediterranean, Jersey Shore style. 

Despite the desperate pleas of Julia D’Albert-Pusey to think twice on an idiotic move, the Danny and Bobby manage to drag a few falling down drunk women back to the hot tub of shame for a nightcap. But Captain Mark Howard doesn’t take too kindly to this crew-on-civilian canoodling, laying blame squarely on the shoulders of their superior, First Mate Bryan Kattenburg. Bryan’s in charge of the whole boat, remember? It’s HIS fault!

After the crew make their way back to the Ionian Princess, Julia heads to bed. While Danny and Bobby show their ladies around the ship’s upper deck, attempting their feeble hands at romance (look, a hot tub! it fizzes!), Ben Robinson starts cooking octopus in the galley. Because…why not? Tiffany Copeland, who I can’t believe is still standing upright, and Hannah Ferrier have put their issues aside for the moment to hide out with Ben below deck. Jen Riservato is also hiding out with them, teasing Hannah about the rules being broken literally above their heads. It works. 

Asserting her delusions of power for Round #2 of the evening, Hannah finally heads upstairs to tell Danny and Bobby they need to usher these gals off “her” boat ASAP. As buzzed as he is, Danny wisely listens. He doesn’t want to put his career – “the most important thing in his life” – in jeopardy over a couple of afterbar girls. Bryan is just freaking out that it’s his crew on the sh*t list for this once the captain finds out, but he assures the boys that he’ll take care of it. Tri-pod forever! Uh. Okay. 

The next morning, Tiffany is so over Hannah’s damage. But Hannah, who is still complaining to Julia about Tiffany’s ineptitude, is not. As Tiffany attempts to do her job, Hannah micromanages her within an inch of her life. Tiffany is a-okay with Hanna’s constant bitchiness as long as they can never, ever again have the conversation they had (well, that Hannah had) at the bar last night. 

Mark-Howard-Red-Shirt-Tense-Below-Deck-Mediterranean

Meanwhile, Bryan puts his big boy shorts on to tell Captain Mark about Danny and Bobby’s lady friends coming on board. “What are those guys thinking?” demands Captain Mark. Bryan wants to deliver consequences to his guys, but Captain Mark would rather handle it himself. This is not what Bryan, who looks like he’s sharting his pants, wants to hear. 

Mark-Howard-Lectures-Team-Below-Deck-Mediterranean

As the guys gather together for their spanking, Captain Mark relays the importance of following his rules – or else. This is strike one for Danny and Bobby. They only get three, then it’s a plane ticket home. They’ll have to serve an extra watch shift as punishment, which they seem fine with. Uh, this is definitely no Captain Lee Stud of The Sea Smackdown! Mark asks Bryan to stay behind afterward, asking him to keep tighter control over his crew. Relieved to have narrowly escaped punishment himself, Bryan bows and scrapes and promises “total transparency!” in the future. 

Bryan-Kattenburg-Hat-Below-Deck-Mediterranean

Captain Mark then calls Hannah, Ben, and Bryan to the bridge to discuss their next charter. As if it were special ordered from porn star heaven for Danny and Bobby, the guests are all waitresses from the Hooters-esque restaurant The Tilted Kilt. As a cherry on top of this man gift, the women will be on board to do a photo shoot. What could go wrong…? Hannah and Ben are excited for the lowbrow clientele, as they don’t know a sushi roll from a tootsie roll. Plus, they’re all waitresses themselves, so maybe they’ll be kindred spirits? Nahhhh. 

On cue, Bobby and Danny drool over the charter guests’ photos, placing dibs on their picks for which chick is DTF. A nervous Bryan warns them to be professional! But he’s no fool. These yahoos are ’bout to get they freak on, strikes or no strikes. Danny also proclaims his advanced maturity, as evidenced by crying while on the phone with his mom later that night. So, he’s homesick and horny. Dangerous combo!

Hannah preps the stews for the charter ahead. They’re going with simple, straightforward, no frills service. Meanwhile, Bryan talks to Jen about her attitude, which stinks like rotten fish. Jen just laughs off his remarks, noting that she’s been on over 30 boats and can see that “Bryan is just trying to compensate for his lack of abilities.” She considers herself the MVP. And she should make herself a t-shirt announcing that fact. It would be just about at subtle as her badittude. 

The guests arrive in tank tops and hula hoops, much to the delight of Bobby and Danny. Hannah gives them the requisite tour, trying to ensure their 100 pounds of hair extensions won’t sink the yacht right where it’s docked. As lunch is served, Captain Mark instructs the crew on departure, which goes smoothly. Even though Jen isn’t standing up straight for it, much to the constant chagrin of Bryan. He pushes, she pulls. Their dynamic is already exhausting.

The charter guests are thrilled with their first Chef Ben lunch, and are now ready for their first photo shoot. As they head up on the sun deck in their bikinis, Danny chats them up like a butt-sniffing Labrador. And he’s already sniffed out his poodle: the hapless (but not topless!) Morgan from Kentucky. Once the photographer arrives, it’s all business. The ladies also instruct Hannah that they’d like a cake made for their friend Katie’s birthday. Ben is never a fan of cake making, but he’s willing to do the deed for the good of the order.

Panos, the Greek photographer, gets the girls lit, oiled, and posed. It’s all too much for Danny and Bobby, who are sharing a brain (and a penis?) at this tender moment, ogling the girls from afar. Danny gets a little closer to the fire though, actually offering a robe to Morgan and spitting pickup lines from 1983. As in: What’s your sign? Coooool, baby! #NoShameInHisDustyGame

Jen is not impressed with this array of scantily-thonged women, though, claiming she’s more into a women’s lacrosse team chartering this yacht than these hussies. She’s also pouting over how much harder she has to work now that her fellow deckhands have been sucked into the vagina vortex that is this charter. As the crew prepare for dinner, Bryan reiterates the professionalism! he’s counting on from Danny and Bobby – Dobby! – although he looks like he’s trying to convince himself of the same mantra. Basically, all the dudes – minus Ben – are losing their f’ing minds on this trip. #TiltedKiltTakeover! 

As the charter guests indulge in a midnight snack, courtesy of a woken-from-sleep Ben, Danny cuddles up to Morgan on the couch. He’s made a deep connection! He’s in luuuuuuuv! But he’s gotta get his job done, which Bobby reminds him of, so he finally drags his inappropriate ass out on deck to get swabbing. As much as Ben’s tried to school Danny in the fine art of secret boat hookups, Danny prefers to publicly canoodle. He keeps the ladies up deep into the night chatting, which forces Hannah to stay up all night serving them. Interesting that Hannah doesn’t call Danny out on this behavior with more strident force (she just sort of smiles and encourages him to cut it short). If this were Tiffany, I believe Hannah would cut a bitch!  

The next day, the crew head to the beach with their guests for photo shoot #2 and lunch. Before they go, Bobby rats out Danny to Bryan, who’s looking more nervous than ever about the thin ice his deckhands are skating on. Infuriatingly, Danny then wakes up late and takes selfies with the guests while Bryan and Bobby get the tender ready for their beach jaunt. Snapping, Bryan demands that he doesn’t want to see Danny’s phone or wagging tongue out anymore! Also, he’s not cool with Danny chatting up the guests last night when he was supposed to be on watch! Danny doesn’t care; he claims all of his tactics get tips. 

Danny-Zurelkat-Beach-Below-Deck-Mediterranean

Julia and Tiffany set up a beach lunch while the photo shoot gets underway. Hannah is starting to trust Tiffany more, much to both women’s satisfaction. Not to be trusted is…who else? Danny! Who’s over with Morgan encouraging her to stick close to him rather than join the PG game of ultimate football Bryan is desperately trying to organize. 

Danny-Zurelkat-Kissing-Guest-Rocks-Below-Deck-Mediterranean

Desperate in a totally different way, Danny then makes off with Morgan to the TOTAL TRANSPARENCY of the rocks nearby, where he kisses her, then giggles like a school girl as he rocks her back and forth in his arms. He is brokedown Leonardo Dicaprio to her wedgied Kate Winslet! Their love shall survive this ship’s tragic sinking! But it will not survive the keen eyes of the crew, who see Danny and Morgan in plain sight. Duh. 

Jen-Riservato-Laughing-Beach-Below-Deck-Mediterranean

Jen, in particular, laughs the maniacal laugh of someone who’s about to earn that deckhand MVP title after all. Even if it’s just for not snogging the clientele.

Previews for next week suggest that Danny of the totally-obvious-hookup is “found out,” thus causing Captain Mark to lay the actual smackdown upon him. Stay tuned!
